AI Development Kits: Tenstorrent Update

Tenstorrent, an AI hardware startup, has introduced new development kits for AI developers. The company initially offered PCIe cards featuring their silicon chips, Grayskull e75 and Grayskull e150, for $599 and $799. The goal was to provide developers with hands-on experience with their architecture and software stack. Now, they are launching the next generation chip, Wormhole, with two PCIe cards: Wormhole n150 for $999 and Wormhole n300 for $1399. These cards offer high performance with direct access to 12 GB of GDDR6 memory. Tenstorrent emphasizes networking capabilities for scalability, enabling users to connect multiple chips in a mesh configuration. They are also introducing developer workstations, TT-LoudBox and TT-QuietBox, with air and water cooling options respectively. These workstations feature multiple Wormhole chips and high-end components for AI development. Tenstorrent recommends Ubuntu 20.04 as the operating system for these systems. The company aims to provide accessible hardware for developers to enhance their AI development capabilities.

So what exactly is the purpose of those chips if they are almost 1.5 times slower at compute and 2 times slower at memory bandwidth at the same power consumption level as almost 2 years old RTX 4090?
